Ruins in Process: Vancouver Art in the '60s

I was thrilled to come across this review of Vancouver art in the 60s, entitled Ruins in Process.

This is a great example of the type of work that needs to be done to further the prospects of Canadian art internationally.

By exploring the work of these Canadian artists more deeply, and getting more a an understanding of how these peoples' work affected the work of subsequent generations, we are able to enrich the Canadian art milieu as a whole.

It is not so much a matter of nationalism - it is more that the art world is broken down by country to a large extent and that the artists of each country do stand on the shoulders of their compatriot artists of the past.
